Leased Airbus aircraft, early to mid-2000s

Yay

noice

Nicely done.

Quick question about the lore though (N464TA and N465TA, specifically) - would US-registered aircraft have been able to operate in Cuba at the time?

They may have had US registrations but were owned by a Salvadoran (not Cuban) airline. In case you didn't know yet, several Latin American airlines register their aircraft in the US rather than in their home countries.

Ohhhhh wait so this is actually real, wow

I know many Latin American airlines use/used US-registered aircraft, and these are not in fact operated by US-based carriers. What I was wondering is whether aircraft *registered* in the US would be allowed to operate in Cuba at the time, and I guess the answer is yes

As far as I know, the only Cuba-US flights allowed at the present time are charters, and there's still too much uncertainty about when regularly scheduled flights between these two countries can finally come (back) to life.
